About this listen

 Divorce is never just emotional it’s financial, practical, and deeply personal. Fair Shares is a podcast dedicated to helping separating couples, families, and professionals in Ireland understand what “fair” really means when a relationship ends. Each episode breaks down the financial realities of separation and divorce: living costs, income splits, housing decisions, child-related expenses, and long-term sustainability. Drawing on real-world scenarios, expert insights, and statutory frameworks such as Reasonable Living Expenses, the series aims to replace confusion with clarity and conflict with informed decision-making. Midway through every season, we explore how structured financial analysis tools such as those developed by Equitable Divorce can help couples and their advisers move discussions away from emotion-driven disputes and toward objective, evidence-based outcomes that stand up in negotiation or mediation.No

    What Does ‘Fair’ Really Cost? Understanding Divorce Expenses in Ireland
    Jan 13 2026

    When couples separate, one of the most emotionally charged questions is also the most practical: Can we both afford to live separately and if so, how? In this episode, we unpack what “fairness” actually looks like when finances are stretched across two households.

    Listeners are guided through the hidden and often underestimated costs of divorce, from housing and childcare to everyday living expenses. We explain how Reasonable Living Expenses are used as a baseline, why guesswork often leads to conflict, and how structured financial modelling can bring realism into negotiations.

    Mid-episode, we explore how tools like those provided by Equitable Divorce help translate complex financial data into clear, side-by-side outcomes allowing couples, mediators, and solicitors to assess sustainability before positions harden and legal costs escalate.

    This episode is ideal for anyone at the beginning of a separation journey who wants clarity before conflict and for professionals seeking a better way to ground financial discussions in evidence rather than assumption.
